Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The existing mechanisms for multi-transmission-reception-point transmission in a cell face challenges in efficiently managing communication between terminal devices and multiple transmission reception points, leading to potential interference and reduced communication efficiency.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Device complexity
If a single set of downlink control channel configuration parameters is used for multiple transmission reception points, then device complexity is reduced, but communication efficiency deteriorates due to interference between TRPs
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the configuration parameters by creating N separate sets of downlink control channel configuration parameters, with each set dedicated to a specific transmission reception point. This segmentation allows each TRP to be configured independently, eliminating interference between TRPs while maintaining manageable complexity through structured parameter organization.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies local quality by assigning different configuration parameters to different transmission reception points based on their specific characteristics and requirements. Each TRP receives tailored configuration parameters optimized for its local communication environment, thereby improving overall communication efficiency without uniformly increasing system complexity.
2Productivity
If multiple sets of configuration parameters are configured for each transmission reception point, then communication efficiency is improved by reducing interference, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent organizes the multiple sets of configuration parameters into a structured segmented framework where each set is clearly associated with a specific TRP through indexing. This segmentation approach enables efficient parameter management by allowing the terminal to selectively access and process only the relevant parameter sets for active TRPs, thereby managing complexity while maintaining the interference-reduction benefits.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements dynamic configuration parameter management where the terminal device can adaptively activate or deactivate specific parameter sets based on which TRPs are currently active. This dynamic approach allows the system to maintain high communication efficiency when multiple TRPs are used while reducing complexity when fewer TRPs are active, making the complexity increase conditional rather than fixed.

AI summary
